We heard from some locals this was a good place to get breakfast and it certainly has some amazing qualities but also had some drawbacks food wise. The biscuits and gravy are awesome. If that's your thing definitely get it. They have a fruit bar for about 4 bucks that was so fresh and delicious. The American fries are home made and yummy. Toast is thick cut and tasty. The only negative for me was the omelettes. American cheese is their filler and it is not the best. :( You can substitute feta or mozzarella but no cheddar apparently. Service is slow but friendly and it is a good place to get breakfast very close to the lakes. read more

The Lakeside Cafe always has excellent service whether it be dine in or take out. A lot of times, I choose to call in and order on my way home from work and it's always on time (10-15 minutes). The staff is always prompt and friendly. The omelettes are always full of flavor (never dry) and the toast is always reasonably buttered. read more

Solid food and friendly staff. Very much a locals place but out of town visitors are welcome

Cute place, great food, fast service. We had breakfast and coffee stayed filled and wait staff was very attentive. Also loved their QR code option to scan and Apple Pay at the table! read more

Short review: good service, fair food, good prices. Long review: my wife and I drive by this place all the time and the parking lot is almost always full. We thought we would try it out so we went there late one night. We found the setting outdated although everything appeared to be very clean and kept up. I ordered the steak and eggs and my steak came out well done even though I asked for medium rare and my toast was a little burned. The flavor of my food was fair. My wife got a cheeseburger which was fantastic! The homemade bread that they used for the bun really give it a nice touch. This is strictly diner food. If you're looking for something fancy go somewhere else. Our waitress was really nice and attentive. It appears that this has been a local hang out for many many years and there are a lot of loyal local customers. For my steak and eggs, my wife's cheeseburger and fries, two soft drinks, and the tip, we walked out paying $22. read more

This is a nice neighborhood restaurant. Nothing fancy but very good breakfast. My lovely wife said their corn beef hash was great I loved their sausage patties. Really tasty. Good breakfast for a low price. read more

I have never been a picky eater, but I got the spinach and feta omelette and it was kinda gross. The combination of American cheese, feta cheese, and canned spinach is WAY too salty and definitely not where it's at. read more

Amazing service! Amazing food! Felt super safe becaus they did such a great job of PPE, Social distancing, cleaning and disinfecting. You can tell they really care about their customers and their staff because they are doing such a good job of keeping everybody safe! Thank you Lakeside Café! read more

Great place I stumbled upon. Wide variety and everything looked amazing with very reasonable pricing. Large portions. Not fancy. No booze just stick to your ribs tasty. When in the area I will be back! read more

It was a wonderful little place. We were sitted quickly and politel. I had a Belgian waffle with an English muffin and soda. My significant other had blueberry pancake and coffee. Our food was served nice and warm. it was extremely goo. The portions were large and the pancakes had fresh large blueberries which were quite plentiful. Our waitress was amazing. The restaurant and restroom were clean. If we go back up to that area, we will be eating there again. read more

Breakfast all day, which is hard to find in this area. Ordered Eggs Benedict, Popeye's Scramble, and biscuits & gravy. It was all delicious! The Scramble had lots of tomatoes and spinach and smothered in cheese, the Eggs Benedict wasn't too lemony, the potatoes were fresh and non-greasy, and the gravy was peppery and good! Service was fast and the restaurant is a little older but clean. read more

Lakeside Cafe - Eggs Benedict with American Fries - New American Near Me - Muskegon, Michigan

Great experience, friendly staff, incredibly fresh and fast food. But highly recommend. Ordered and omelette with a side of American fries, and couldn't have been happier. Great flavors, and an awesome diner read more

This place was so yummy. I came in here with my mom and grandmother a few months ago, and our food was totally great. Diner vibes and cute tables and booths. It's definitely a beachy, low-profile sort of place, and is very early-bird oriented. A little run down, but comfortable and definitely charming in its own way. Food was just, yum. There are no other adjectives. I got a cheeseburger and my mom and grandmother each got a grilled cheese. What really made this place for me was that every form of sandwich came on this thick, toasted, buttery, chewy bread and it was so satisfyingly on point. Stop in here after a day of play down by the water. It'll totally hit the spot. read more

Honestly couldn't stand this place when it was Mikes Landing -- I'm not sure what happened when they changed the name but it's so much better now! The prices are incredible for the food you get! read more

Food was good. They buttered the English muffins. Wait staff was friendly and service was quick.

Nice little breakfast spot. Good coffee, pancakes, hashbrowns and burgers on homemade bread. Lovely atmosphere. Close to the ferry.

One of our favorite places to eat. Food is delicious and the prices are decent. Friendly staff and wearing masks. Social distancing in the restaurant. read more

Huge portions, very friendly wait staff, family atmosphere, good kitchen staff, good coffee. We got there at 8:00 AM and it wasn't too crowded but by 8:30 the restaurant and parking lot were both full. A very comfortable place for a good and reasonably priced meal. I've only been there for breakfast but I have to believe other meals are equally as good, read more

Great breakfast joint. We eat here regularly. Great service and prices. Very consistent food. All the bread is made in-house and thick cut. The Lakeside biscuit is always a winner. Worth a visit read more

Old building. Kinda scary. The food was ok. Stuffed hash browns we're super salty but cheese and ham in there it's to be expected. Waitress was ok. Wife liked her poached eggs and son (13) said the scrambled eggs were awesome. read more

It's a cute local diner, the food was nothing special. Nice atmosphere and friendly people.

The biscuits and gravy here are the best!!! Lakeside Cafe is a nice breakfast stop with really good food. My favorite breakfast stop in town. The pancakes are awesome too! read more

Excellent food. We stopped here in our way to the Lake Express Ferry. I had to Garden Omelet. Oozing with cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes-yummy. Raisin toast-thick and just the right amount of butter. Hubby had the special: eggs quesadilla with hash browns. Quite the food adventure for him. Nothing left on his plate-it was great. Good coffee. We saw a lot of locals eating here. Told the waitress we needed check right away, due to catching the ferry-they were quite accommodating. Great place. read more

We came in for breakfast and were given an amazing meal that was extremely well priced. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure to make sure we were well taken care of. I will definitely be recommending this place to all my friends and family. read more

We had a large party, 9 total, this is a small restaurant, the service was great ! So was the food -generous portions and great prices! I come back home once a year, and visiting locally owned businesses is important to me....if you are in Muskegon I would recommend giving this gem a try! Oh, and just a warning, the pancakes are huge!!!! read more

Exactly what so expect from a small dinner. Good food at a decent price. Friendly wait staff. One of my favorites in Muskegon. Would recommend to anyone read more

There is absolutely nothing bad I can say about this place. Everything is prepared fresh- no frozen reheated food here. They make their own breads and cinnamon rolls- and they are to die for! The rye bread is the best. Service is prompt and friendly. The portions are HUGE and the prices are great- never spent more than $20, tip included, for the two of us. Warning- the place is always PACKED for breakfasts on weekends- be prepared for at least a 10-15 minute wait. read more

Bad service our group had 15 people and they used 1 waiter. I ordered the grilled chicken sandwich and it wasn't even grilled it was microwaved. read more

Just about as good as it can get. Absolutely great food, fair price and great staff. Found on Yelp on business trip. Had breakfast and my wife and I could not eat all the food, generous portions. They make their own wonderful bread! Recommend. read more

My husband and i have enjoyed this restaurant many times now and will never get enough. Everything we have tried we like, but the hot turkey is really something, as well as the wet burrito. Their prices are very good and all the employees are very friendly. Highly recommend! read more
